Well, firstly, art teachers are not exactly known for their anti-feminism. Safe money is on her just being insufferable, especially given the fact that she deliberately left out what she said/did that got that response from the teacher, lol (or it's literally made up and she just made up the conflict in order to make herself the hero in a little tale).

Secondly, this is objectively a moronic response visually. Not only is it a dial (which implicitly supports the teacher's premise), but it is plainly obvious that there is a LOT of room on that dial between the two settings--this implicitly contradicts the apparent intention to communicate those two 'settings' as a binary proposition. Would have made much more sense to display it as a switch, a device that actually has only two binary positions.

On the other hand, it shows that every step on the dial is a step towards being complicit in their own dehumanization. The teacher’s request seems to suggest that those are separate axes, whereas OP obviously does not think so.
